National Resistance Movement

The National Resistance Movement (NRM) is a social conservative political party in Uganda that was founded in 1986 by Yoweri Museveni. The NRM was founded after Museveni seized power from Milton Obote, and it became the next authoritarian party in the country. Corruption was a severe problem, and Museveni controversially had Uganda intervene in several conflicts in the Great Lakes region, including the Second Congo War.
